I've find plenty of threads talking about how amazing these are for tying up to other boats. Honestly don't do this often so I'm not too concerned, but I am looking for something better to space me from a houseboat (obviously these will work) and when tying up to a dock overnight.

Will these work fine? Haven't seen much about how they hold up against normal old wood docks.....I'd like to save some cash by not needing the $50/ea taylormade or poly form ones, but if these are going to pop it's a waste
